Chapter 702: The Mei Clan (2)

The three men talked happily with each other, and Jingping went to another room with Xia Tan and Ning Lan to talk.

Xia Tan is also a straightforward and happy person, and he thought to himself that it is also very good for Xinjian Bofu to raise such a daughter.

Xia Tan's wedding date is scheduled for December, and Jingping and Ning Lan also made an appointment to add makeup to Xia Tan at that time.

The six men had eaten, but because they had their own errands, they dispersed.

In the evening, Jingping and Ning Yi talked about Qi Wenyu.

Ning Yi was outspoken in his appreciation for Qi Wenyu, but Jingping had a faint expression and was noncommittal.

"What's wrong with Yanyan? Didn't you be quite curious about Qi Wenyu before. Ning Yi saw that her expression was wrong, so he asked.

"He is indeed very good at speaking, and he is also a capable person, otherwise it would be impossible to be an official in Tongzhou, and he can be reused by his father." Jingping said.

"Father and Emperor value Qi Wenyu very much." Ning Yi thanked.

Between Qi Wenyu's words, he knew that he was extremely determined, upright, and principled and responsible. This kind of person is naturally good to make friends. Jingping said.

"Then why are you worried?"

"I'm worried because he's too upright, and I'm afraid that there will still be a bit of the sour stubbornness of the literati. Such a person, no matter how great your favor may be, it will be difficult for you to use him. ”

may even be used by others, and finally turn around and hurt Zijiu, which is what Jingping is most worried about.

"I had a relationship with him, and although I thought about it at first, I wanted to be appointed, but now I see that he is a character and can be a friend, so I don't have to think too much about anything else." Ning Yi said.

"Naturally!"

Ning Yi has never treated his friends with profit, but to see if they are like-minded, and he values character more.

"He specially asked your father today, and I vaguely felt a little strange." Jingping Road.

"I also vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he must have been an official in Tongzhou, and naturally he had heard of his father's name, so he asked curiously." Ning Yi said.

"But when he talks about your father, his words are a little reserved, and his eyes are quite meaningful." Jingping Road.

"......" Ning Yi has been immersed in officialdom for a long time now, and there are some paintings that observe words and colors.

What Yan Yan observed, he also noticed!

"I hope it's you and I think more." Jing said flatly.

"Well, don't think about it." Ning Yi didn't want Jing Ping to worry too much.

"You are about to send your relatives to the north, you must be careful along the way, and of course you must protect my third brother and not let him make any mistakes." Now that the past life and this life are very different, Jingping will be so worried.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect the prince." Ning Yi said.

Jingping wanted to tell him to stay away from Ruyu.

Thinking that he had always acted in a very measured manner, he said no more.

The next day, Ning Yi went to the morning court early in the morning, Ning Yi saw Qi Wenyu in the Chongzheng Palace, he was wearing an official uniform, and he was still holding a thick stack of folds in his hand.

"Lord Qi!"

Qi Wenyu saw Ning Yi, stood straight, and then returned the salute, "Lord Ning." ”

"Lord Qi, it seems that there is something important to play the emperor today." Ning Yi said.

"Indeed, it is a very important matter." When Qi Wenyu looked at Ning Yi, he felt a little guilty inexplicably.

But when I think of the responsibility of being an official, the guilt is gone.

"The early dynasty is about to start, you and I will go in!" Qi Wenyu said.

Above the court, Li Quande said loudly, "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from." ”

"The minister has something to do." Qi Wenyu slowly came out of the official queue and answered loudly.

Emperor Jinghe also recognized Qi Wenyu, so he said, "What is the important thing to do in Aiqing?" ”

"Your Majesty, Ning Rong, the minister of the Ministry of Soldiers, led troops to slaughter more than 778 people of the Mei clan in Luanzhou in order to seize the Mei women in Luan Town, and robbed all the gold and silver treasures of the Mei family. The minister has made a list of the slaughtered people of the Mei clan and asked the emperor to take a look. ”

Qi Wenyu's words were sonorous and powerful, and as soon as the words came out, the court was in an uproar.

Emperor Jinghe's face changed, and he didn't speak immediately.

Ning Rong, on the other hand, turned pale and looked up at the emperor.

Ning Yi and Yuan You never expected that they had just eaten and drank with Qi Wenyu yesterday, and today he actually joined Ning Rong.

Didn't he know the relationship between Ning Yi and Ning Rong, and the relationship between the prince and the Ning family?

"Please take a look at the emperor!" Qi Wenyu presented the recital and the list with both hands.

Emperor Jinghe had no choice but to let Li Quande take over Qi Wenyu's recital.

"Fende, what Qi Aiqing said, is there something wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the situation in Luan Town was complicated at that time, the Mei family colluded with Xishu, and the Mei family was a powerful family in Luan Town, and the ministers did lead troops to reel it." Ning Rong said.

"Your Majesty, the big clan in Luanzhen at that time was the Mei clan of Luanzhou, although they were strong, they were very sympathetic to the people, and they were quite popular among the people. Those seven hundred and eighty people, and hundreds of others, are not the Mei family at all, just Mei relatives, and even ordinary people. Ning Rong heard that Mei Ying, the daughter of the Mei clan in Luanzhou, was stunning, and in order to snatch her, he led troops into Luanzhou and slaughtered all the Mei clan. Qi Wenyu said.

Ning Yi listened to Qi Wenyu's words, his tone was stern and strong, and he seemed to be confident about this case.

He couldn't help but think of Mei Ying, who appeared inexplicably, and always felt that things were a little complicated.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been an official in Tongzhou for three years and has been to Luan Town many times for inspection. At that time, Ning Rong not only killed the Mei clan, but also set fire to the two villages surnamed Mei, and many surviving people remember this vividly. ”

"Moreover, Ning Rong snatched Mei Ying back then, and because he had already married a woman from the Fangqiu Chen family, he couldn't tolerate her. As a result, he insulted Mei Ying and then abandoned her. Your Majesty, Ning Rong's move is simply not as good as sacrificial. ”

"Your Majesty, what Qi Wenyu said is untrue, and the minister will never force Mei Ying." Ning Rong knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty, I saw Mei Ying two days ago, and she was willing to confront Ning Rong in person, to testify how Ning Rong killed her Mei clan back then, and how she raped her." Qi Wenyu said.

"......" Ning Rong was speechless, this was something he never expected that Mei Ying would testify against him.

"Please let the emperor know clearly, the minister really doesn't have it." Ning Rong said, "The minister sent troops at that time, but the Mei clan was unwilling to comply with the court's policy of changing the land. It turned out that the minister had obtained a secret letter again, and the Mei clan had already taken refuge in Xishu, so the minister would send troops to exterminate the Mei clan in Luan Town. ”

Emperor Jinghe's face was very ugly, at the beginning of the Luan Zhen case, he knew the situation clearly, he didn't think that anyone would mention it, who knew that this Qi Wenyu had just been appointed, and he dared to join the Ministry of War, and he was still talking about an old case.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of people have died in vain, and they must not be taken lightly. In Yichen's opinion, the three divisions should be allowed to try and find out the case. Liu Shiyuan said.

"The ministers seconded the proposal." The ministers of the Liu family all stood up and said.

Ning Rong only felt that cold sweat was seeping, he wanted to know the truth, the emperor knew it, but he didn't know how the emperor would deal with it?
